Kelsey Plum and Jonquel Jones have just been on another level today lol This has been a blast

The day belonged to outgoing legends Sylvia Fowles and Sue Bird, though. The two were named co-captains for their final All-Star Game appearance.

Fowles and Bird received warm receptions when they exited the court for the last time.

Ahead of the event, the WNBA named Brittney Griner an honorary All-Star starter. The Phoenix Mercury star is still wrongfully detained in Russia, with her period of confinement extending to 143 days and counting.

Griner’s WNBA peers recognized the two-time Defensive Player of the Year by wearing her name and number on their jerseys in the second half.
